Title: Why store session in Session Bean instead of HttpSession?

Hi Cengiz,   When you're using HttpSession you're still using resources. It is more a design issue than a resource issue. Both HttpSession and STSB are used to keep a conversational state between a client and application. Depending on your requirements you should make the decision where to store the state. When you say "just using HttpSession", you're already making the assumption that it's a web application and the client is accessing it through the web via a browser, which is only one of many ways you can access an enterprise application.   Cheers,               Dimitar   -----Original Message----- From: Cengiz KAYAY [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 1:00 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Why store session in Session Bean instead of HttpSession?   Hello List; I wonder why someone would need to use STSB and undergo a resource usage problem instead of just  using the HttpSession. Is the idea to use your own session object rather than storing objects under keys in the hashtable?   Regards   Cengiz Kayay
